Oh yeah, and there's also no reason for Kobe to be going to the line more times than our entire team. On that last play, he just threw himself into 2 of our guys, tripped over his own feet, and got the foul call. I mean, what the hell are you supposed to do?

yeah that was a pretty bad loss.. we played pretty good too.. it hurt when baron had to sit out the last few minutes.. it's so easy to get caught up in it all, then you have to remember that we are still like the 2nd youngest team in the league.. i know people get tired of hearing that its not an excuse though its a fact.. experience is the most important thing in the 4th quarter..

Al's line:
13-19, 2-3 from 3 3 steals, 30 points, and yes, 1 board. He was traded for Murphy, who got 7 points and 8 boards. I will buy everyone on this board a sandwich if the general consensus is that dungmurphy is outperforming harringjax after they've had 10 games -tonight:

Seriously, Al needs to prove he can do both things at the same time. With a slightly better game shooting against the Cavs (a game in which he proved he can rebound), we won that game. With a slightly better rebounding game against the Fakers (in this case he proved he can score), we won that game.

His line against the Lakers looks more like Eddy Curry than Al Harrington.

Not that I'm blaming him or anything. Just saying that he's gotta do a bit more of both things, as he's been proven capable to do so.

I really like the way the team is performing after the trade (and we're 0-2 since then). Everything will be much better with a few games more.
